Sex and our mood

I’ve heard that the more sex you have the more you want it, and also you are in a happier mood and become more patient. Perhaps the key to a happy marriage with children is having more sex and really enjoying it.

Growing up in a Latin family, sex has always been taboo. You don’t talk about it and you definitely don’t think of it as a good thing that you enjoy and explore. I was raised believing    that sex was something just married couples did and by no means was it suppose to be for pleasure. But as I got older and took biology and a sex education class, I got to learn more about this taboo you don’t talk about with your parents. And after meeting my husband it all clicked.

When you are in the honeymoon stage, sex is something you do all the time, even if you have a headache or are too tired. But then you add kids to the mix and sex needs to be scheduled. We become the mommy and forget to be the wife, the sexy goddess, the French maid. We become cranky because of lack of sleep and more responsibilities. Eventually we don’t realize that sex has gone to the back burner. You get snappy and dwell on stupid little things. Perhaps the lack of sex is what is keeping you cranky and losing your patience more often.

Studies say that the more sex a couple has, the happier they are. To me it makes sense. Sex brings you together as a couple and is a mode of relaxation. So ladies, get your French maid outfits and rekindle your passion with one another. Forget about the stresses of daily life, and get back to basics.
